1. Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions on the restaurant tomorrow. I believe the boss has decided on Iggie's. Expect a full report in a couple of days. We're seeing "Crumbs From the Table of Joy" tomorrow night. I've heard it's very good.
2. Tomorrow I'm having a guest speaker in my classroom - Eugenia W. Collier, author of the classic short story "Marigolds". It's the second year in a row in which she'll be visiting my classroom, and I'm excited. This means driving across the city to her retirement home, picking her up by 7:15, then driving her into school, providing lunch, then driving her home at the end fo the day. But it's all worth it, and she's a kind woman who the kids generally love to hear talk. I hope I don't work her too hard by asking her to speak to 6 groups of kids; she is 79 years old.
3. I really, really, really want to talk about something top secret, but I can't. Ooh, it's good though. (Actually, not really, but if you know me, ask me.)
4. I am attempting to make a tuna log for my guest speaker tomorrow. My attempts at cooking - or even combinging ingredients, as this recipe calls for - is a drastic change from my usual diet of microwaved veggie burgers and Trader Joe's cereal. I hope I don't screw it up.

what is with men in your age bracket and the lack of cooking skills/desire?! My boyfriend who is slightly older than you just microwaves a veggie burger or chicken pattie and stands over his counter eating it while reading his mail most nights.
Cooking for one.
I thought it would be different with a kid living with me, but he works almost as much as I do.
"Crumbs" is a fantastic play, I saw a production at the Indiana Rep a few years back that was really good. I think you'll like it. And maybe later you can call me (on purpose, not from your pocket) and tell me what your news is.
A tuna log? I am afraid to ask!
I can cook*.
*"Cook" defined as "put frozen food on cookie plate and put in pre-heated oven for a set time"
A tuna log is probably something called totally different things wherever you go. It's just tuna fish, a bit of cream cheese, some liquid smoke, some onions, some horseradish, all combined together and mixed. It makes a great dip. It actually turned out great, and everyone liked it.
Mine's (and my mother's) is not actually shaped like a log, but others' are.
D: "Crumbs" was superb. It's 11pm, so I'm figuring it's too late to call. But it's not really that exciting of news. It's just me being subversive. I'll e-mail you.
